Move slow and fix things – Human sustainability for the planet 39:11

منذ 12 يومًا39:11

39:11

Many people working in sustainability feel disillusioned and burned out. The problem is that businesses often prioritise profit over real, impactful change. Sustainability is seen as secondary, and those driving it are left feeling unsupported and powerless. This lack of meaningful action leaves even the most dedicated individuals questioning their efforts. Kathryn Sheridan suggests slowing down, reconnecting with our values, and acting from a place of stability. By making small, steady changes, we can avoid burnout and create lasting impact. It's about finding balance, caring for ourselves, and learning to pace our efforts for the long haul. If we continue at breakneck speed, we risk losing the energy and clarity we need to make real progress. Burnout can leave us unable to act, and the noise of the world can overwhelm us. Without intentional change, we might stay stuck in cycles of stress and frustration, unable to move forward. This episode will help you Understand how to approach sustainability with credibility, integrity, and a focus on human wellbeing Discover the importance of slowing down and acting from a place of stability for meaningful and lasting change Learn how to navigate the challenges of balancing personal purpose and professional responsibilities in leadership Highlights [00:08:17] The slow and steady road to, and through, burnout [00:11:21] Kathryn's reflections on her consultancy [00:12:50] Learning to slow down [00:14:16] The challenges of the founder-led business [00:17:20] Falling out-of-love with ustainability [00:23:20] Time to ccut the noise [00:27:25] The role of fear [00:30:23] Change is made through small steps [00:32:38] Caring for others' fears [00:35:51] People Planet Place [00:36:34] What Fearless Forward means to Sally-Anne [00:37:19] Takeaways from Sally-Anne Resources Connect with Kathryn via LinkedIn People Planet Place Connect with Sally-Anne via LinkedIn…

Let's talk about loss... 49:39

How we process and respond to traumatic experiences matters more than the experiences themselves. Openly discussing loss, maintaining connections to loved ones who have passed, and allowing ourselves to feel and express grief fully can lead to far better outcomes. Sanderson Jones is a former standup comedian and the co-founder of Sunday Assembly, a worldwide movement of non-religious congregations that celebrate life.

Our upbringing, and the patterns and behaviours we carry, shape how we show up in our relationships and work. These patterns often stem from past trauma or difficult family dynamics we don’t fully recognise. Left unaddressed, they can lead to harmful behaviours, strained relationships, and limitations on our personal and professional growth. Christina Kisley understands deeply how our past affects us and how vital committing to personal growth can be. This means being willing to dig into our own experiences, even if it feels uncomfortable or scary. Facing ourselves is one of the hardest things we can do, but it’s also the most rewarding.

Fear can take over our emotions, cloud our judgment, and leave us feeling powerless. It’s easy to feel trapped when we’re unsure how to move forwards.

He refused to let fear define him and made a promise to himself that he would not let fear take away his power or identity.

Emma Draper faced a huge challenge when her life suddenly changed. Her marriage ended, she became a single parent to three boys, and her business was struggling. On top of that, the pressures of keeping her home and supporting her family felt overwhelming. She also battled long Covid, which left her physically drained for years. Emma found a way forward by taking control of her situation. She refused to stay stuck in fear and started making changes. She restructured her business, reconnected with her team, and focused on her health. She looked at every area of her life and worked to improve it step by step. Emma had worked for years without a clear sense of her “why”. Being so occupied with work and life without that clear purpose can lead to burnout and a loss of confidence. We risk feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the people who rely on us. Without action, these pressures can snowball. This episode will help you Reflect on personal fears and use them as motivation to take actionable steps toward change Develop a strategy for balancing personal and professional responsibilities while maintaining self-care Create a detailed plan with incremental steps to achieve significant long-term improvements at home and in your work Highlights [00:05:59] A late-night epiphany [00:11:53] The hard work begins [00:13:02] A mission of change [00:15:27] Using Velvet as a force for good [00:21:55] What's next for Velvet [00:25:43] The key to a successful life [00:28:15] And then Long COVID hit [00:35:16] Incremental steps [00:37:19] What Fearless Forward means to Emma [00:38:37] Takeaways from Sally-Anne Resources Connect with Emma via LinkedIn Velvet Connect with Sally-Anne via LinkedIn…

What cancer can teach us about kindness 39:03

منذ 12 weeks39:03

39:03

It's all to easy to get caught up in work, achievement, or the daily grind. If we’re not careful, we can lose sight of ourselves and the love we have to give and receive. The way forward is to focus on kindness. This means being kind to others and, just as importantly, to ourselves. Matt Dean’s experience – his continuing battle with cancer, his brush with death, and his moment of spiritual awakening – shows that love and kindness are at the heart of everything good. Even in the face of fear and hardship, kindness can guide us to live more fully and meaningfully. Without kindness, life can feel empty, even when we’re busy. We can end up working hard but missing out on what truly fulfils us. Struggles can feel heavier, and fear can take over when we lack a foundation of love and goodness. Take a moment right now to pause and reflect. Think about one simple act of kindness you can do today, whether for someone else or for yourself. Then, go and do it. These small steps can change everything. Reasons to listen Explore how living with cancer shaped Matt's perspective on love, kindness, and leadership. Understand the transformative power of facing mortality and embracing vulnerability in personal and professional life. For ways to cultivate kindness and compassion in everyday interactions, including with yourself.

Leaping from success and security into the magical unknown 40:41

منذ 14 weeks40:41

Responsibility can be hard to let go of when we’re used to being the one everyone relies on. This burden often leaves no room for joy, creativity, or the things that truly fulfil us. We get stuck in patterns of doing what we think we should do, rather than what we deeply want to do. The way forward is to create space for ourselves. This means stepping back from some of the things that weigh us down, even if they’ve brought us success. It’s about choosing to pursue what lights us up and leaning into the magic of life. By doing this, we can rediscover joy and find new ways to contribute meaningfully. In this conversation, successful consultant turned author Tierah Lothbrok explores how we can recognise the responsibilities that are truly ours and let go of the rest, so we don’t risk losing touch with ourselves. Reasons to listen Learn practical strategies for letting go of excessive responsibility while maintaining success and finding more joy in life Discover how to recognise and break free from patterns of success addiction that may be blocking personal growth and fulfilment Explore ways to bring everyday magic and creativity back into your life while maintaining professional achievements Highlights [00:05:45] Knowing it's going to be OK [00:10:51] Navigating self-doubt [00:15:15] Time to rediscover joy [00:17:37] Going into the unknown [00:18:52] Addiction to success [00:25:29] Accelerating through difficult moments... but not rushing [00:27:58] That Tierah has learned about herself [00:29:41] How to bring magic into every day [00:35:49] Decide [00:38:23] What Fearless Forward means to Tierah [00:38:43] Takeaways from Sally-Anne Resources Connect with Tierah via LinkedIn Connect with Sally-Anne via LinkedIn…

Sometimes as leaders we face situations that feel overwhelming, whether it’s uncertainty, financial struggles, or the fear of letting others down. These challenges can take a toll on our mental and physical health, and even our confidence in moving forward. But we can overcome these tough moments by staying focused, being resourceful, and never giving up. In this episode, Caffe Nero founder Pablo Ettinger shares how he managed to navigate both personal risks and business challenges by maintaining a clear vision, leaning on the right people, and preparing with a plan B. Letting fear or stress control us leads to poor decisions, burnout, or to us giving up on something that could have succeeded with just a little more effort or support. But there are small, deliberate actions we can take to move forward, and hopefully, someone close you can turn to for guidance. Reasons to listen Discover practical strategies for handling high-stakes business situations while maintaining composure and making thoughtful decisions rather than reactive choices. Learn how successful entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty and financial challenges by leveraging support networks and maintaining a clear vision. Understand the importance of balancing personal wellbeing with business responsibilities when facing stressful leadership situations.
